After Effects - Warning: failed to write xmp metadata

I have a couple of users who are saving a render job to a network share using After Effects. Towards the end of the render, they get a warning saying "failed to write xmp metadata" It does not ruin the render or anything. It just shows the warning. They have full access rights to the share. What is causing this error?

They are successfully able to render to their local hard drive without any error and the error is only occuring with wmv output but not avi. Where exactly are the settings for XMP so that it can be configured properly?
But since they can render to the local hard drive without any errors there must be something that AE doesnt like about rendering to a share. What could that be?

Hi,
I have had this problem also with CS6 and found a solution. If I try to open a script UI panel with a project open, I get this message, but if I close the project and then launch the scripts, they write without hassle. Then I re-open my project. Hope that helps.

After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.
I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

I had this problem after converting some MPG's to avi's... the resulting filenames were 'foo.MPG.avi' ... the error message only seemed to indicate it was foo.MPG, so AE thought it was a MPG container type by parsing wrong, when it wasnt. i renamed all my files to just the avi, like 'foo.avi' and then imported into AE and it worked, no errors.

After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

After Effects CC fails to launch

After installing AE CC through the Creative Cloud Application, it fails to launch stating
After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/rickyline/Library/Preferences/AdoberAfterEffects/12.2/Workspaces.
Click Ok, then it says unexpected failure during application startup.
I have updated the app and it still fails.
Has anybody come acroos this and know how to fix it.
Thanks

Sounds like you have a permissions issue with your file structure.
You haven't mentioned what OS you're using, but I'm guessing the latest Mac OS. If so, I'll bet you upgraded your OS rather than doing a clean install. No problem though, just set the permissions on the folders correctly and you should be fine. (There were several threads about this when Mavericks was first released.)

After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

Hi There Fellow Adobe After Effects Users.
Please could some one help assist me with the following error i am getting.
I bought a template and needed to do a logo animation reveal. It was done using After Effects CC for PC.
AE had to then convert it to Mac which did so successfully. I was able to modify, add my logo and render out.
The following day i opened the file again and it gave me the follwoing error:
"After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands"
What is confusing to me is that this issue would normally appear if my graphics cards did not support OpenGL, and it would not have opened in the first place if it was not supported.
My graphics card is a - ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB - running Mavericks OS. So i know that this card does support GPU acceleration.
Please could someone point me in a direction that will fix this.
Thank you so much

Thank you for the update Mylenium.
If I look at my display info, the card says OpenGL engine. Does this mean anything?
If it's not supported, then what's the point in purchasing a Mac If you cannot use AE's full capacity. Mac doesn't put Nvidia cards in there machines and on the Adobe website, ATI cards ate not listed; but in the same breath it says that most ATI cards that have come out in the past 5 years are supported. Surely Adobe and their technicians must have spoken with Mac technitions.
I am considering to buy the new Mac Pro; but am definitely going to change my mind if I cannot use AE's full compatibility. I don't see why spend so much cash if the cards aren't great.
Please could you then tell me what functions to switch off in the project file. I'll get the guy whom I bought the template from to switch of those functions.
Thank you.
Have a great day

I'm using Adobe After Effect CS4. It worked pretty well but today, when i lauch it, a message appeared. The message said: "After Effect warning: Unable to create font".Then i searched google and tried many ways: reinstall, restart windows,etc...but it didn't work.After that, i tried to lauch other Adobe Programs like Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop.

"After Effects Warning: Unable to create font." in CC12.1

I just updated AE to 12.1, and now no fonts work in it. I originally got the error "Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue," but got that one resolved only to get "After Effects Warning: Unable to create font." This happens for any area of a comp that has text. No video will display at all where I have text.
The fonts are activated. I did find that some of them had somehow turned off since yesterday. I'm using FontExplorer X for font management.
They worked just fine yesterday in 12.0. Frustration factor high on this one.
Thanks,

After Effects CS6 won't open: "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."

I cleared my computer but I managed to get After Effects CS6 back by looking in Windows old on my hard drive, every time I try and open AAE I get this error message "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."
What should I do?
Thanks.

Does it launch after that error message?
What version of CS6 is it? 11.0.4? If not, try updating to it.
Why not simply reinstall from your original disk or download?

After Effects warning: Error with directory?

Okay so recently I was having issues with text layers not displaying properly, and I posted here and found that the solution was to recreate my preferences file. However, since then I have been getting an error while starting AE that says "After Effects warning: Error with directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\8.0\MediaIO". Is there a way to fix this without returning to old preferences file that gave me the original problem?

And what happens, if you simply delete the error? The directory itself is not that important, as it merely holds presets and caches for Adobe Media encoder based formats (MPEG-2,WMF, etc.). AE should re-create it, if needed. Short of that, check the permissions on the folder as a starting point...

After Effects warning: Error parsing properties list.

Hi all,
I got this error message today when I got back to work from over the weekend. This is the first time I have seen this error and have had no real luck finding any good fix for it.
this is the error message:
After Effects warning: Error parsing properties list.
I am running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 Service Pack 2, with AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250, 2.39GHz, 2.00 GB Ram
The error message pops up in a small box with the above message, I hit ok to close the box and nothing happens and I double click AE again to open it and it opens with just the top navagation bar and the rest of the window is grey. It does not open completely and If I click anything it crashes. Giving me a message about it can't continue and to contact adobe support for know issues.
Has anyone had this problem and if so whats the best fix?????
THANKS so Much in advance!
David

Start by quitting After Effects and clearing the entire preferences folder. I.e., delete the entire /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.2/ folder when After Effects is not running.

After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component????

Hello,
I was wondering why this warning is coming up every time I open After Effects-
(After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.)
It also reappears every time I go to a different program then back into After Effects.
I am currently on a-
MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.5
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
After Effects CS3
Quicktime 7.5.5
GeForce 8600M GT
2 external storage drives (Western Digital, Lacie)
Matrox MX02
I just upgraded quicktime and this started appearing.
ANY IDEAS.

Sorry,
Here;s another. I have Quicktime Pro installed. I have CS3 installed. I also have AE v7 which runs a few plugins I am still thinking work in v7. CS3 runs OK but in version 7 it gives me the "Couldn't open Quicktime Video Output Component " notice. I had a client working in v7 so I tried to work in v7, it was a bad idea. I lost days of work and finally just went to CS3 to get the job done but couldn't use one anothers files between versions.
What can I do to get the AE v7 Couldn't open Quicktime video output component fixed. Make it simple if you can... I'm an artist.
Thanks

Error code 6 & media offline & after effect warning errors.

Increasingly I am getting the attached error messages when I try to open files. (mostly .psd and .ind files)
1.) It often says I don’t have permission to open the file, it is not the right type of file, or the file doesn’t exist... none of which are true.
The files always work if I copy them locally and open them from my harddrive.
2.) "media offline" error.
3.) after effects warning error.
Help needed. Thx.

Hi Saif,
You might get several issues, if you are directly opening files from the server or a network location, to your machine and editing them. You might also get issue while saving then to the server. I think your issue is one of them.
This is because, several thing comes into picture while you are opening, editing, saving files over the network. You may face some network issues, firewall issues and mostly permissions issues.
So, adobe always recommends to save the file locally on the machine first and then perform editting and saving operations. once you are done, you can copy it to the network.
Check the below article just for reference.
